Netanyahu Warns Iran of Unprecedented Response to Potential Attack
Iran is experiencing significant unrest, with the death toll from protests exceeding 4,000, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. The crackdown has resulted in 3,786 demonstrators, 180 security personnel, 28 children, and 35 non-protesters killed. More than 26,000 individuals have been arrested amid rising international pressure and an ongoing internet shutdown. In a recent incident, hackers disrupted state television broadcasts, airing messages supporting exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi. Iran's police chief has issued an ultimatum to protesters, warning of severe punishment for those who do not surrender. Additionally, the World Economic Forum has withdrawn an invitation for Iran's foreign minister to speak due to the ongoing violence. The situation remains tense, with US military movements in the region further heightening concerns.
